Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the Latin work Herbarius by M. Cristannus of Prachatice († 1439) and its manuscript tradition. It brings an uptodated inventory of the manuscripts containing Cristannus´s herbarium (it presents primarily the record of the Herbarius in the work Confundarium maius by Matouš Beran in the manuscript I E 35 of the Prague National Library, ff. 61r –92v.) The author tries to outline the relationship between the five important manuscripts of the Herbarius which contain two rather different redactions of this famous work.
